Tight Clothes Don't Make you Cooler or Sweat Less!

Okay, so I've been riding on the train and I've seen a lot of people walking around in tight clothes.  They make my eyes burn and I don't really appreciate it. I know it's hot and all, but many people lose their sense of decency as soon as the summer hits.

Here is an example of what I see on the train:

AWKWARD.

So, I decided to research whether tight clothes make you sweat more or less.  I mean, I think it'd trap the sweat in your body, making you more sticky and nasty while people try to avoid looking at you.  Here's what I found.

From How to Control Your Sweating:

"For instance, tight fitting clothing will make it difficult for the sweat to dry out whereas wearing loose fitting clothing will help the air to circulate and your sweat to dry off faster."

From Jamaica Travel:

"Loose-fitting lightweight cotton clothing is best because it allows air flow in the hot humid climate. Tight clothing tends to make you sweat more and can get uncomfortable, as will synthetics like nylon. T-shirts and tank tops are the perfect wear for out-doors and are best worn untucked, allowing air to circulate. You are going to sweat!"

Well, it looks like tight clothing is completely obsolete.  So, if you think rolling up your shirt will do anything for you, all it will do is expose more of your body to heat.  Instead, try shoving a nice, well-fitting white shirt over your body like this lady here.

Thanks, and stay safe.  This is an announcement from your local Chotpy.

Jazz VS. Subway Preacher

I've seen some pretty crazy stuff in my lifetime, but today had to be the weirdest experience ever.  There was a jazz band commissioned by the MTA on one side and a random dude with a mic on the other preaching.  It was like being in Greek limbo[LOOK IT UP].  I think they were having some sort of competition to see who could be loudest.

I wonder who won.

I have also determined that the people who paint the bathrooms in the Barnes and Noble on 86th Street [3rd ave] uses weird paint that smells worse than 1,000 elephant butts filled with the gas of 100,000 beans.   It's such a drab gray too.  

Do all people walk with their feet pointing outward? 

INTRIGUING!

Yesterday I saw a guy wheeling himself backwards.  I am confused.  I'm sure he could've just pushed.  Maybe he was tired.  The thing about people is that you don't know if they'll thank you or yell at you until your ears bleed, so all you do is watch.

BACK IT!

I've noticed that less men are willing to give up their seat for a woman with many bags or a tired woman.  Sometimes they won't even give up their seat for a woman with kids.  I don't understand what the big deal is if you're not carrying anything.  The kind thing to do is to stand, but maybe it's a gender equality thing?  Can someone clarify it for me?

Well, I'm a tired maha, so I shall venture off into the depths.

Squeaks, Bums, and Douchebags

I get lazy when my freakin' phone doesn't bluetooth things to Windows.  Mac, you win this time.

I got on the train in the morning yesterday wondering why my car was less full than the other ones.  Well, I got my answer.  There was a urine-like smell emanating from a homeless woman who was seated in the corner.  As usual, there was a ten feet gap between her and any source of human life.

NEVER GET ON THE EMPTY CAR! IT PROBABLY STINKS!

Here she is in her corner...

If you're gonna stay in the car, move FAR away.  Scents travel far.

These poor people...

In other news, today there was a manhole explosion on 149th street?  I didn't know about it until I got on the 6th at 23rd [where I saw Sukanya Krishnan with some ATL people, friends of hers who must've been on their way back to ATL].  The announcer was dead set on telling everyone to stop trying to fit if there was no space and that there was another train behind that one at EVERY STOP.  At 103rd, the dude spazzed.  30 or so people got off, and there were around the same number waiting to get on.  The conductor decides to shut the door while ppl are getting on.  WTF!

Dude needs a hug.

And lastly, some people need to just DO THE RIGHT THINGGGG!  If the car doors are left slightly open and are squeaking and you're sitting next to them, JUST CLOSE THE DOORS!  Jeez!  Look at this crap!

For 10 minutes I had to sit through that!  TEN MINUTES OF HELL, THEY WERE!  

IF ONLY YOU COULD HEAR THE SQUEAKS!

YARRR!  Okay, well other than that, stuff's all good.  MTA, thanks for not raising the base price.  Your service isn't funtastic [which it needs to be], but at least single rides are still $2. 

People, stay well, and always remember to walk quickly on the streets of New York~
